Here’s a WIP concept art I’ve been working on redesigning my own version of the monster and I want to title the project Life Without Soul. Problem is, I don’t want it to be confused with the 1915 lost silent film. I’ve got brain fog 😅. What other title can I use other than being
(…… Of Frankenstein)
I recieved this copy about 15 years ago from my mother and never wanted to mess with it since it seems pretty fragile. I was looking at it today but can’t find a publication date, just The Marshon Publishers.
Here is my work so far on creating a Victor Frankenstein laboratory but I unfortunately have not found a proper Victor so! I used the creature by himself for the photos. Everything is made of wood for the room and shelves, chairs, tables etc. The window is actually glass and can be opened and closed. The jars that come with the Four Horseman Figura Obscura Frankenstein Creature figure can actually be filled with water and food coloring and tissue paper to make a really cool effect and they are air tight! Anyway I hope you like it so far!
Back in january, I made a custom doll of the Creature. Now, Elizabeth joins my collection. (I had finished the doll months ago, but procrastinated on making the dress. I spent the whole day today on it).
Made this in the Edit app and took me 2 days to do.

Head is paper mache & random junk I had laying about, brain in jar is, well… brain & jar. Making another set of “abnormal brain/dysfunctio cerebri “ labels for the jar like the brain I keep in my office amongst my universal monsters stuff. Jar will be filled with dyed fluid & equipped with LED airstone that bubbles activated by knife switch.
How can most of the "movie critics" miss the point so much?
Elizabeth's love for the creature is motherly. Or at least was placed there to represent it.
From the moment of the very first meeting - touching fingers, lifting his arms to look at him, it is so similar of a woman bonding with her newborn baby. And she even asks "who hurt you?".
Her thanking him for the leaf - very much like thanking a toddler...
Elizabeth's quote before she died: "My place was never in this world. I sought and longed for something I could not quite name. But in you, I found it. To be lost and to be found, that is the lifespan of love. And in its brevity, its tragedy... this has been made eternal. Better this way... to fade... with your eyes gazing upon me."
Suggests nothing about romantic love but finding meaning and purpose.
Victor being jealous of the creature because it receives Elizabet's love - emotionally immature, abusive men hating on their own children because they're no longer the main focus of the woman.
Victor literally becoming his father, something that set his whole life. His father despising him and his mother. But he also grew to despise his "creation".
Victor's mother dies giving birth to his brother. Elizabeth dies thinking she's saving the monster. One event sets Victor on the path of creating the monster, another one - destroying it. Victor's brother is also an indirect victim of the events. Just like Victor was in his childhood. A generational cycle of pain and suffering.

I wasn’t expecting 8 people to join to review Son of Frankenstein but we had a blast on this one!!
Honoured to have horror royalty Antonia Carlotta on the show to grace us with her knowledge of classic horror.
definitely my strongest one out of the other frankenstein inspired works i made- it took me like 5 attempts to get the poses right
Was just drawing spooky boys and decided these two deserved happiness.
Made this way back in 2010! Goddamn. Was really going for the novel's description with a bit of stylistic flair. I think the hands might be a bit too big and the wind blown hair/jacket are conflicting but otherwise, I think it's pretty decent.
Picked this up from the library. It's a choose your own adventure type version where you are Victor. I've gone down a few different paths that went in some very fun, unexpected, and creative directions. In one, I didn't even create the standard monster but an entirely different creation. In another, I chose to accept and raise my creation but things still went sideways for other reasons. I'm really looking forward to rereading and making other choices and seeing what cool stuff can happen. Highly recommend. 👍
